I don't have their birthdates but Adams' parents were, Nicolaus Keppers and Anna Maria Keppers, they were from Pronsfeld, Prussia. Gertrude father was Nicolaus Dingels of Lasel, Prussia. Adam Keppers was born on August 27, 1808 in Pronsfeld, Kreis Prum (county of Prum), about 40 miles north of Trier, Prussia (Germany). I have no birthdate or place for Gertrude Dingels. They married and had 6 children in Pronsfeld, Prussia before coming to America in 1852. They came by sailboat and entered America through St. Louis. They first settled in Lafayette, Indiana where Gertrude died shortly after arrival there. Their 6 children were 1. Nicolaus Simplicius, aka Claus, b. 4/18/1835, 2. Nicolaus, aks Nick b. 9/1/1836, 3.John b.12/10/1839, 4 & 5.(twins)Theodore and Lucy b. 3/4/1844, 6. Anna b. 6/26/1847. I have more information on this family in a family book "The Heider's and Kepper's". If you would like I could copy the pages applicable to this family and mail it to you. Janet [email protected]
